Three days later, three teams marched into Maple City in full view of everyone.
To be honest, most people in the city weren't particularly interested in who would become the city's ruler.
They knew, no matter how things changed, that person wouldn't be them...
and no matter how the ruler changed, they would always be at the bottom of the heap. Therefore, they were more than happy to see a bloodbath between various factions for the position of ruler.
In the Black Horn Territory, those who gloated over others' misfortunes and took advantage of others' misfortunes were everywhere.
After entering Maple City, the three major factions didn't bother to look for random people, but instead headed straight for the manor where the Medicine King, Han Feng, had once resided.
While the Medicine King was dead, his servants were still there.
Although most of them had fled, many loyal souls remained, diligently protecting their master's legacy, still yearning for his return.
Because Han Feng's death was so unexpected, with not even a body left, some still suspected he was still alive, hiding from his enemies.
This was one reason why Maple City hadn't been ripped apart by those hungry wolves until now.
However, today, with the three major factions taking their first steps into Maple City, a bloody storm was sure to ensue!
"Three Dou Huangs, five Dou Wangs, and thousands of followers! It seems the three major factions are determined to become the new rulers of Maple City!"
At the city gates, countless witnesses sighed inwardly.
With such a massive force, few would dare to challenge them, would they?
"Quick! Spread this news back to the sect. Let the sect master make the final decision!"
Numerous people began to spread the word.
Of course, many more were just watching the fun...
"Hehe, it looks like Han Beng is in trouble this time..."
As Han Feng's trusted confidant, Han Beng was one of the formidable figures dedicated to protecting his master's legacy.
As a Seven-Star Dou Wang-level warrior, he was a renowned figure even in the entire Black Horn Region. With the added influence of the Medicine Emperor, Han Beng now commanded a force far greater than either the Black Mining Sect or the Blood Lion Gang, worthy of being called a quasi-first-rate force...
But alas,
he now faced the combined forces of three major first-rate factions!
The Tianyin Sect, the Luosha Sect, and the Mad Lion Gang were all renowned and powerful factions within the Black Horn Region, their leaders all ranked among the top ten on the "Black List"!
These three factions dominated the Black Horn Region, their actions often characterized by dominance. Without Han Feng's protection, no one present believed Han Beng could resist their invasion. In the
heart of Fengcheng, within the spacious meeting room of Han Feng Manor, was the Han Feng Manor.
The atmosphere was oppressive and tense, with a faint smell of gunpowder poised to explode.
Four groups of people were gathered in the hall. The innermost group naturally consisted of Han Beng and his men, who now controlled Han Feng. The three groups outside were naturally the Tianyin Sect, the Luosha Sect, and the Mad Lion Gang.
"You're that Han Beng, right? Stop the nonsense! I'll give you one hour to submit to our alliance of three major factions. If you refuse, don't blame us for a bloodbath here!" Tie Wu squinted at Han Beng, a smile brimming with bloodlust on his face.
Su Mei curled her lips inwardly, disdainful of this pretentious individual.
Of course, she certainly wouldn't try to undermine him at this moment. Instead, she chuckled and said, "Master Tie, please don't be so bloody with your words... I believe Mr. Han Beng is a wise man and will definitely make the right choice."
As for Elder Yin Gu, although he said nothing, his chilling aura sent a chill through anyone's heart.
Although the old man had rarely taken action in recent years, as someone who had spent years in the Black Horn Region, who knew the ruthless methods of the Tianyin Sect's leader?
Looking at the two men in front of him, their threatening intent was clear.
Although Han Beng was filled with anger, he dared not fully explode.
"You... don't go too far!"
"The master's power is beyond your imagination! Even now that the master is gone, how many people in this Black Horn Region have benefited from his kindness..."
"If you dare to act recklessly, all it takes is a single warrant from the master, and your sect and gang will suffer a devastating disaster!"
Han Beng's voice was dry and hoarse, like torn cloth, revealing the depths of his recent experience!
However, at his words, the leaders of the three major factions present simultaneously laughed sarcastically.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Mr. Han Beng, once the Medicine Emperor's most trusted confidant, would have such naive ideas..."
Su Mei's body swayed like a willow branch in the wind, staring at the three major factions behind her with wide eyes.
"If the Medicine Emperor were still alive, then perhaps what you said could actually come true. But now that the Medicine Emperor is dead, how many people do you think would still remember this so-called 'favor'?"
A debt of favor is sometimes the least valuable!
Han Beng's expression changed several times, but in the end, he could only sigh dejectedly.
He knew this clearly. If those people truly remembered their master's friendship, then why would the master's disappearance, all of Maple City in turmoil, have caused such panic, yet no one stood up to help them?
But, were they just going to give up like that?
He was filled with resentment.
Looking at the three major factions present, Han Beng's eyes were cold, and he said in a hoarse voice, "The rules of the Black Horn Territory are that whoever has the bigger fist has the final say..."
"I understand that very well. However, there's only one Maple City, so who should I hand it over to?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Tang could actually feel a subtle shift in the atmosphere in the hall. Even the several Luosha Sect elders around him were secretly wary.
However, with such an obvious divisive ploy, Mo Tang believed that Su Mei and the other two, if they weren't foolish, wouldn't fall for it.
Sure enough, after just a moment, the shirtless Iron Crow sneered, took a step forward, and with a rising aura, he shouted angrily, "You're quite scheming. But this divisive tactic won't work on us. As for who will ultimately rule the city, you don't need to worry about it. Your only choice now is to hand over all of the Medicine Emperor's treasures, and we might even consider sparing your life!"
Although Han Feng's personality would definitely carry all his goodies with him and store them in his storage ring, he'd been in the Black Horn Territory for so many years that he certainly wouldn't keep everything in one place. A cunning rabbit has three burrows
—this is something even a three-year-old knows, and as the Medicine Emperor, it's impossible for him not to have thought of it!
